So, round 6. I present to you the guardian of Good and Evil, Yi-ang Hound. it was made by recoloring a Houndoom and the shading could be better. Tail was scratched and i honestly couldn't create a good Dog like Pokemon. Hope you like it

Rurrow the Kangaroo Rat PokemonGround/FairyHt: 0'03"Wt: .3 lbs.Rurrow's environment has little water, so it has adapted to stay hydrated on a diet of seeds. It is said that Rurrow can jump 9 feet into the air if threatened.

Yes, I'm doing it.[several hours later after getting dragged off to do things when I was almost done judging, here it is..;]

The outlines on this sprite are way too light. It is also nearly impossible to tell that it has any shading from afar- everything about this sprite lacks proper contrast, ironic considering the premise of the fakemon. Other than that, the pokemon is has a very bland design, basically being a Houndoom but with all of its unique features removed- what you did change, the tails, lack outlines entirely.D-

A cute cat, but how is it laying? Cats don't sit like that, with their pawpads visible- I'm not sure that they could even bend the back leg like that. The shading on the sprite is also very straight, but not in a way that would look like rock. Coal is actually pretty shiny, so the lack of a highlight seems bad.. but at the same time it's not clear if it's really made of coal, or coated in coal dust. The eyes are better, but could use a darker red outline. I like the idea, but it needs refining.C-

This is a pretty cool idea, and the triangle markings on the back keep it from being too plain. I have a few small criticisms though. The cream colored areas have no colored outlines.. except on the stomach, which is the one place that would have been fine with black. There's also the toe of the one foot, which has a light pixel that I presume is a nail, but no outline. Otherwise, it's pretty good.B

Main problem I have with this is that it looks too much like the base sprite, Zorua. I'm also not sure what type it's supposed to be- Normal? Grass? The tail sort of looks like a plant, but I can't tell. The body's light on shading, but otherwise not too bad, but it's too much Zorua, and not enough clarity in what it's supposed to be.C+

FutureCreator wrote:

This sprite doesn't feel like a pokemon, but it's less the idea, and more the execution. For one thing, the anatomy is off. The legs are skinny, and the paws are nonexistent. The body has almost no shading, and clings to the outlines in a pillowshade-like manner, meanwhile the fire is overly detailed for pokemon. There's also no black outline here whatsoever.C-

This also looks too much like its base sprite, and might have been a lot better off without the flames. Meanwhile the wing covers up the foreleg too much. Also, a personal nitpick, but the sprite would look much better mirrored, with ponyta's head flipped opposite of the rest of the sprite. As it is, even though it's technically looking at the player, it's still facing the wrong way.D+

I'm not sure what to think of this. ..Morel, why? I guess this could be a good play off of the 'bad eggs' , but hm. I will say, the hole that has the arm coming out does not look big enough to have fit that hand through it. The other one does, but that does not. The wings also look tacked on, but I'm not sure what else to say about this.B-

Well, google'd that. ..That's a bit terrifying. Anyway, first things first, what's up with the tail? If it's supposed to be a dissolving effect to play up the ghost typing, it doesn't work well. Also, can't tell if the two small dots on the face are nostrils or eyes- I know the actual animal has small, frontward eyes, but at this scale that's hard to tell. Regardless, this is mostly a good sprite and interesting idea.B

Now this is nicely done, and something I could definitely see being an actual Pokemon. There isn't much bad to say about this. If I had to nitpick, I find it odd the mouth has no clear outline, but that's all.A

Mitchell Boot wrote:

I.. good thing I prefer apple pie. I'm not sure about how well the idea fits with pokemon, but the sprite is technically good- It looks a bit too much like Muk, however. The crust parts could also use shading, as it's largely lacking there.B-

Gantorn wrote:

An ambitious sprite, though a simple inspiration, however it falls short of nailing Pokemon's style. The shading is rather minimal, and the lion's face looks flat because of it. Also, the anatomy of the legs is poor- they're stiffly straight, and a feline's back legs are structured differently than the front ones. I've also no idea what type this fakemon is by its appearance. You say it's fire/poision, but it's has earthy colors (implying grass, ground and/or water), and the snake barely has fangs. A manticore would have been a better fit for a fire/poison fakemon, but this could have worked.. just nothing about this was executed correctly.D

I like this sprite a lot. The concept works, and there's always a place for more fossils. If I had to nitpick anything, I'd say I'd rather see the dark blue outline that forms the mouth extend all the way to under the snout rather than using the blue shadow color, but still really nice all around.A

I really, really want to disqualify you for being late.. but perhaps we were not clear on the consequences. ..I think this time I'll dock you a grade, and make an announcement people can't miss.. but we can't have a deadline and not enforce it. Anyway.. this sprite reminds me of to many things, but that's probably because I can tell some of what you used to make it. For a pokemon that's called the 'sky' pokemon, it doesn't even look like it would be able to fly very well- Honestly looking at this sprite, the arm-wings are probably my biggest issue in general. The front wing just has no shading, while the rear wing appears to be thinner, but the blue 'fins' appear just as large, skewing the perspective. They're also missing outline on both wings.B -> C

Next round;-Retype a pokemon; edit a pokemon of one type so it appears to be another type, basically a 'what if Pikachu was a fire type' round.End date will be 6/25

Important notice-Just in case LM was not clear last time, I'm telling everybody now..If you submit a late entry from here forward, your entry will be disqualified.Deadline to submit entries is 3 am EST / 12 am PST Sunday at the latest.
